The region with its inheritages and places to visit
In the heart of the Loir-valley, descriped in songs by Ronsard and Bellay, yo will find Marçon, a green parc, where you can taste the sweetness of the Loir. As it was appreciated by the kings of France and the wealthy rich from the Sarthe. You can still see their influence when you visit the castles, villages and all the other beautiful places in the region.
Near the Castles of la Loire, you will find the Loir Valley with its beautiful Castles to visit, like for example:
The The Lude Castle ( at 30 minutes distance30mn)
The Castle from Poncé-sur-le-Loir (at 20 minutes distance)
In the region you will find lots of picturesque villages, one even more touching then the other. From Lavardin (at 25 minutes) classified as one of the most beautiful villages from France, to Saint Christophe sur le nais (at 15 minutes), passing by Beuil en Tourraine (at 15 minutes) or La Chartre-sur-le-Loir (at 10 minutes). The villages in the Loir valley will give you an impression you will not forget!
Gardens: poetic or ordered, intimate or exuberant, you will find them in the beautiful Loir-Valley. When you have "green hands" or you like to dream a bit, you will love to make a dive in these beautiful colours and lovely smells of these gardens.
Troo ( at 30 minutes) and other troglodytes villages.
Troglodytes: Dugged out in the hills you will find lots of houses build of sandstone. Some of them you will be able to visit.
